Greater than one weekNo, it doesnt display in 4K, but it DOES display in 1080P full HD. Which, in my opinion is still really good. Its thin, lightweight, and has hardly any bezel. At least, compared to what Im used to. And with one regular USB-A port, a HDMI port, 2 USB-C ports, and 3.5mm audio port, you can pretty much hook this thing up to anything. Oh, and it also has dual speakers in it. Granted, they arent going to disturb the neighbors or anything, lol. But that aint half bad, considering theyre just a couple of speakers in a monitor. I could definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a nice size monitor thats also not too big.

> 3 dayI was in the market for a nice thin monitor to use in a workstation Im building. Im setting up my laser and 3d printer room and needed something mounted to a wall that is EXTRA thin. this thing is perfect. The picture quality is fantastic, especially for its size. I havent used it for gaming or anything, but I dont expect it would have any issues handling your Xbox, PlayStation, or PC games. the built-in stand works fine, it holds the screen up in the position you set it in, although Im not currently using that feature in my setup. having it use USB c to power it up is extremely convenient too since I always have a spare cable laying around in case this one goes bad for some reason. overall, this screen is 100% exactly what I was looking for and, honestly, exceeded my expectations on quality by a large margin.

> 3 dayThis monitor is thin, yet sturdy. Thickness is about like a tablet. It has a kickstand that folds out about 45 degrees when set up. This is perfect for meetings, travel, or to extend a laptops display with a second monitor. This is a 1080 display. It appears to be 8 bit color. This is fine for my use, but others may want more color depth. The color has more of a flat display compared to my laptops more vibrant color display. If you are a casual game or just need a larger screen to watch movies while traveling, this is a good solution. I use this to extend my laptops display on my desk. Very useful. If you need something for video editing or where color reproduction is more of a priority, this may not be for you.

> 3 dayI have to travel a lot for meetings, and only some of the meeting rooms have TVs or monitors for sharing my work. My wife found this thinking shed use it for her laptop at home, but when it wound up being a bit too big for her lap desk, it went into my work bag. Its now my meeting MVP. I hauled it out and mirrored my screen facing the rest of the group, and half of the questions in the meeting were about where/how I got it. Its got a great clear picture, sets up quickly, and the kickstand is awesome (I had another monitor that required me to do some sort of origami folding of the folio, and overall it just wasnt user friendly). Even better, most portable monitors Ive tried require you to download an app to make any adjustments to brightness, etc., but this one has buttons on the side that allow you to access the full suite of parameters. I cannot stress enough how awesome this monitor is for my work. Is it a gaming monitor? No, but then youre not paying for a gaming monitor. Get it for what it is, and youll be as thrilled as I am.

> 3 dayTLDR: This is an awesome travel monitor. Period. It is so thin and light and plug and play. I love the built in stand on the back and power delivery over USB-C. It supports multiple inputs and even sound as well. The whole point of this thing is that it is awesome for travel. I can definitely see a use if you had a couple of kids in the car with an XBOX or something like that. It comes with all the needed cables, which is a huge plus. WHAT I LIKE: -Incredibly Portable -It seems silly but it comes in premium packaging. I find that if a brand is willing to pay extra for nice packaging, then the product is usually of a far higher quality than competitors. -Supports multiple video imports -Built in kickstand is great. SUPER convenient. -Cables included -It is Plug and Play WHAT I DONT LIKE -When it comes to my monitors, be it a laptop or desktop, I ALWAYS buy at least 144Hz. I find that the smoothness of the screen is so noticeable that it is usually not something I will compromise on. BUT, I think that the portability of a 17 inch screen is enough to offset the lower refresh rate.

> 3 dayI recently ordered the OOLHOOD 17.3 inch Portable Monitor and I couldnt be happier with my decision. The first thing I noticed was how easy it was to set up and start using. The monitor was plug-and-play, meaning there was no complicated software to download or installations needed. After plugging it in, I was able to immediately begin using it. The display quality is top-notch. With a resolution of 1920x1080, the picture is crystal clear and the colors are incredibly vivid. The monitor is also adjustable, allowing me to adjust the brightness, contrast, and temperature to my liking. One of my favorite things about this monitor is how lightweight it is. Its incredibly portable and thin, making it easy for me to use it on-the-go. I didnt have to sacrifice quality for portability with this monitor, which was a major selling point for me. Overall, I highly recommend the OOLHOOD 17.3 inch Portable Monitor to anyone in need of an extra display. The quality and clarity of the display, combined with the portability and ease-of-use, make it a product that everyone should consider.

> 3 dayIve owned many similar portable monitors, and this one is decent in terms of overall quality vs price at the time of this review, because the price has dropped since I first requested it. The 1080P FHD IPS display provides clear images, which has been great for my work (not sure if it will work well for gaming though). The monitor is thin and lightweight, which makes it easy to carry around and use on-the-go. The invisible stand is a great feature that allows for easy adjustment and positioning. Additionally, the built-in speakers provide decent sound quality for a monitor of this size in my standard (probably not for my brother who is an audiophile). The monitor works well with my laptop (Windows). It’s only been a month, but I am quite satisfied with its performance and would recommend it to anyone looking for a portable and high-quality monitor (but make sure to compare the prices of similar monitors because there could be a coupon or deal going on Amazon)

> 3 dayOrdered this to serve as the primary monitor for a mini–PC. It serves my purpose well, and I can also see where this monitor would be perfect for the road warrior who needs a second monitor for a laptop PC. At a mere 5.8mm thick (and no more than twice that along the bottom quarter to accommodate the inputs), the COOLHOOD monitor weighs in at just under three pounds. Its sturdy aluminum frame and remarkably well constructed protective bag allow for extreme portability. While not infinitely adjustable, the monitors built-in kickstand is sturdy, well designed, and keeps the monitor in place even on a slick surface. That being said, Im using the COOLHOOD monitor with an aluminum tablet easel, which provides much better support and adjustability for my use. Picture quality is frankly much better than expected. No excessive backlight bleed, and color remains vivid and consistent across the viewing surface. I havent messed with the brightness, contrast, etc., because the picture quality is great right out of the box. Audio is nothing spectacular, but not inferior to any other monitor Ive reviewed. I never expect audiophile quality sound from monitors anyway, so no penalty incurred. Finally, a check on Amazon shows this COOLHOOD monitor in the sweet spot among its 17.3-inch competitors pricewise. That, plus its solid, reliable form factor and excellent image quality make it a winner, in my opinion, if you need a second laptop monitor or monitor you can fit in a tight space. Id be no less enthusiastic with my review had I paid for it myself instead of receiving it on Vine.

> 3 dayAt 17.3, this monitor is huge. It works as a great portable extender monitor for the laptop or for a gaming system like a STEAM Deck. You could adjust the brightness as well as has built in sound. Coming in, it also comes with the most common video connectors to make this compatible with virtually any device. Because of its flat design, its pretty light and the aluminum body makes this extremely durable to travel with; it also comes with a neoprene sleeve to help protect it during travel. In terms of visuals, the graphics are really good and the colors are extremely crisp. I have played a few games using this monitor and didnt notice any lag or delay time. Really great monitor overall for work, gaming, or to just have as an extender monitor for productivity.
